PELL GRANT

The Federal Pell Grant Program provides need-based grants to low-income undergraduate (and certain post-baccalaureate) students to promote access to post-secondary education. Pell Grants do not carry a repayment obligation.  Full-time courses with 600 or more hours are eligible for Pell Grant funding. Students may not receive Federal Pell Grant funds from more than one school at a time.

Pell Grants are awarded based on need, determined when students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Select the school year in which you will be attending MCCC, reference the MCCC School Code 015612 when completing the FAFSA, and contact the Adult Education office to discuss your financial aid or if additional information is needed.

Note: Students who have previously completed a FAFSA to enroll in another institution do not need to submit a new FAFSA, but must use their assigned PIN number to edit their FAFSA by adding MCCC’s school code 015612. Satisfactory academic progress and satisfactory attendance must be maintained for Title IV (PELL) eligibility. MCCC defines Satisfactory Academic Progress as a 70% grade average and 90% attendance rate, and 100% attendance for clinical, externship, or practicum hours.
